One of these days, if someone gets me started, I'll essay on 
why Mousse has almost no honor and why Gosunkugi ought to be
shunned.                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 ^^^^^^^
      I don't think anybody would disagree with that last point.

I disagree.  So he's a little less assertive than the other characters.
THat's to be expected, I mean...he's not some sort of warrior who's
trained for all of his life.  He's just a normal guy with an Akane
obsession (which, for the series, is normal.  Every male, except for
Mousse becomes obsessed with Akane).  And he's a voodoo nerd, as opposed
to something more normal, like a computer nerd.  Big deal.......

But he's also a peeking tom, he would rather blow himself and Ranma up
in some stupid machine than fight Ranma without the stupid end of time
limit in which to hit him thing, he tries to make Akane go under his
control than let her like him normally, etc. That's not a 'normal guy'

Kun-chan...
